Judge rejects Trutanich's ballot description

The Los Angeles Times (

) says Monday's decision from Superior Court Judge Joseph Kalin came in response to a legal challenge filed by one of Trutanich's main rivals in the race for district attorney, Alan Jackson.

Jackson had claimed the ballot title was misleading to voters.

The judge ruled that Trutanich can call himself "Los Angeles city prosecutor" on the June 5 ballot.

Jackson also argued that Trutanich spent too little time doing day-to-day work in court to call himself a prosecutor at all.

Kalin didn't agree with that argument, and says he took issue with the lack of clarity over whether Trutanich works for the city or the county.
